18 Wheels of Steel: Haulin’ (PC) – Review

I am a boring man. Yes, the long hair, the beard, swearing, and musical instruments would give you the impression otherwise. That or I am just a crap Billy Connolly cosplayer, but I don’t think of myself as an interesting human. Some…

Channel Zero Season 3 Episode 6 Review: “Sacrifice Zone”

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Channel Zero. Having reached the finale of “Butcher’s Block,” I can say that one of the consistent strengths of this season, and of Channel Zero in general, is its capacity to wield atmosphere to great effect.…

Gods Will Fall (PC) Review

It’s not often that I get to play a game that challenges my perspective on genres and their execution. When Gods Will Fall came across my plate, it did just that. Not having a full expectation of what I was going to play, I…

Formula 1: Drive To Survive Season 3 – Review

To quote the late Murray Walker who passed away last weekend, “It’s go! Go! Go!” Yes, another F1 season is around the corner. Testing began just the other week, which means only one thing. Netflix has a good docu-series on F1 out…

Doctor Who “Amy’s Choice” – Review

Well, isn’t this just a lovely wholesome episode? The one where a pregnant woman commits suicide while driving a VW bus head-first towards killer pensioners at her front door. See men, get yourself a woman who will prove to a lord of…

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Channel Zero. The penultimate episode of “Butcher’s Block” sees Alice and Zoe switch narrative positions. Alice is now thoroughly under the Peach family’s sway, while Zoe struggles to pull her back to herself as the sister…

Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King (PC) Review

As someone that was very hesitant to get into the Souls kinds of games until a year or two ago, I’m glad I’ve gotten out of my comfort zone and discovered the lore-heavy, brutal titles that I previously never would have given the time…

Doctor Who “The Vampires of Venice” – Review

“Vampires,” slightly crap looking CGI monsters, tall and pretty 20-something White women with pointy teeth and no reflection, along with a time-traveling old man popping out of a cake like a stripper? I am only excited about one of those, and it’s…

Maquette (PS4) Review

It isn’t often that a narrative-focused game leaves me at a loss for words. Maquette is the first time in a while where I was surprised by a game for a few different reasons. With the lead characters being voiced by Bryce…

Channel Zero Season 3 Episode 4 Review: “Alice in Slaughterland”

Warning: This article contains discussion of cannibalism, violence, racism, and spoilers for Channel Zero. “Butcher’s Block”‘s fourth episode, the aptly named “Alice in Slaughterland,” pivots to focus the drama on the interior of the Peach residence. It’s an intelligent move, given the…
